Why I don’t post on Joma Tech… But New Channel!

Hello. Hello. Uh, it's been a while since I've talked to you guys.

Um, I just came here because I wanted to talk about this new channel that I'm starting, but then also kind of like why I haven't been posting on Joma Techch a lot. Um, just for some context, I posted a video maybe like three months ago and uh and that was when that was when I haven't posted for like three years and then suddenly I just posted a video and then and then I kind of left again. So, I I kind of just want to talk about that a little bit.

Yeah, I know most of you probably thought like, "Oh my god, there's going to be a new video. He's going to be back forever. " But nope, you know, I just want to, you know, keep you guys on your toes.

But anyways, so two things I want to talk about. Why I post so little on Jate nowadays and also why I'm making a new channel. So Jek, you know, it it evolved quite a lot throughout the years.

You know, at first it kind of started as like vlogs. I think that's how I first started um doing Joma Techch and it was like the first channel that actually worked out and blew up. That was the thing.

You know, when I first started, uh I kind of just chased the views, you know, the it was the narcissism speaking, not going to lie. Uh I think that's probably true for most people on the internet. You know, you have to be a little bit narcissistic to kind of film yourself, edit, look at yourself while you're editing and put it out there.

But I think it's a natural cycle of a of a of a content creator. And then after that, you know, you kind of chase money. Uh, you know, you start doing sponsorships.

You know, first time some some company gives you like $5,000 for a video, you thought like, "Wow, what the hell? This is amazing. " That's like one month of salary right there, right?

And and that was mostly true during the era of kind of like the sketches right here. You know, I was getting like a lot of views and and and it was pretty awesome. you know, I started I was able to kind of make a living out of it.

And then that's kind of also when uh I started going full-time on YouTube. But when I went full-time on YouTube, I also chased something different. I was chasing skills.

You know, that's when you saw my increase in production quality because I was interested in film making. The more you want to improve, at least for me, the more I want to try different things. You know, I don't like to stick to a certain format.

That way I can push myself to try different things. uh uplevel my cinematography, uplevel my editing, my storytelling and stuff like that. And it takes time, you know, because you're not going to go you're not going to go use like a formula that works all the time.

You're trying to do something new every time. And then you're going to take a lot longer because you have to learn all these skills before you even make the video rather than using an existing set of skills and creating kind of like a content engine out of that. I don't mind it because it's um that was the whole point of of working.

It's it's you want to get better at stuff and you want to learn and you want to be able to have the skill set so that if ever in the future you need to make something specific, you'll have the skill set. Anyways, point is making one video every few months. I don't think it was uh a sustainable business, right?

Um however, there was a guy, you know, he asked me like what would I do if money wasn't an issue? And I said to myself, "Oh, I'll I'll probably just do YouTube, but one video a year, you know, so I could take my time to make it and stuff. " And um that kind of hit me and I was like, "Oh, if if that was my goal, like why not just do it now, right?

" So I kind of stopped the grind. I relaxed a little bit, try to be, you know, take my time, you know, try to do it as a as as an art form, you know, if if I can really call it that. [snorts] But um but then I realized I kind of needed the money, right?

So so I went back to work and let me see then that was the era where like chat GPT was coming up and and then cursor and stuff like that. I was playing around with all these tools and they were so amazing. It kind of gave me like superpowers and I kind of found my love for like building again, right?

Cuz even if I was a video creator, I also really like to build software or just or just anything. software is the easiest because you don't need anything physical. But then even work became more fun and that's why I I I just kept doing the job.

I didn't even think about making videos at all until one day a young man came up to me who recognized me. He said how much my videos actually helped him through like a difficult time. And I No, actually I'm kidding.

I just looked at my YouTube income and I was like, man, I I really miss having a side income and and I kind of miss making videos, right? Uh I mean, who who doesn't love money, right? Some extra money you could spend it on, you know, more I don't know, pizza slices or something like that.

I I don't know. I don't know. As I was saying, I I miss making videos.

So So that's when I decided to make my comeback video, which took a long time. Uh but I wasn't in a rush, right? And uh I also wanted to practice actually, you know, telling a story with a plot, not not not just sketches.

And uh since I had a job and I didn't need to make money or or to even succeed or to make the video go viral or anything, uh I was able to take more risks. Uh and I really like that because I can focus on creating the thing I like to create rather than having constraints or tradeoffs so that I can monetize it or so that I can have sponsorships or so that, you know, I I I can make it more viral. I I kind of just made it as truthful as possible, true to me, right?

And um yeah, but I I think in general I do like making videos. It's quite fun. Um uh but the thing is like, you know, as much as I like writing, you know, telling stories and entertaining people, you know, in the end, you still have to make it a business, right?

Uh life is a balance you know it's never an all or nothing you know like it's pure art or like oh it's pure business you know it's all moneym or whatever you know most things are in between which is why I'm starting a new channel and what is it called drum roll second channel. Yeah I I don't know what to call this channel yet because I don't know what it will be yet. So let's just call it JMA second channel.

You can't get more objective than that. [snorts] But what am I going to do? I think I think mostly um yeah, I'm not sure.

It has to be, you know, it has to have some sort of content market fit. So, it has to be cheap to make and it has to have a good ROI. One of the ideas might be talking about news and lots of AI stuff to talk about nowadays.

A lot of interesting things. We could deep dive into these new tools or like some of the moves that these companies make and we could analyze that. Um, I think that's good for me and also probably for the viewers because, you know, you want to stay sharp, you want to stay up to date and also maybe just interviewing people in the industry and um, yeah, I mean, I I just have to find like a middle ground of what people like to watch and why I enjoy baking.

One of the inspiration I had, I was uh, I was looking to I was looking at other YouTube channels that might have the same issues as me with Joma and I found this YouTuber, his name is Meat Canyon. I'm sure a lot of you know them, but his animation is extremely high quality. It takes a lot of money to make.

It takes a lot of people to make a bunch of animators and uh and they're really, really good. But as you can see, you know, similar to my channel back then, like you don't make them consistently, right? Like there's a three-month gap here, one month gap, one month gap.

Almost like me, one video a month kind of thing. And uh but these videos are bangers. They're really, really bangers.

and he didn't want to sacrifice the quality just to chase like the YouTube algorithm or whatever. So he made a second channel and in this channel he basically posts like every few days and he kind of reacts to like internet trends and stuff like that. Created this channel so that he can create a more sustainable business that allows him to spend months on a single two-minute animation without losing his audience's attention or his financial stability.

I was like, "Oh wow. " Like that's that's exactly my problem with Joma Techch. I mean, it's not a huge huge problem because at least I have like a job and and the job helps me uh be financially stable.

I don't know why I said it like that, but I think like if I ever want to go back full-time to YouTube, that's probably kind of like the business model that works the best. So, you know, so maybe I'll try this business model out. Uh it might work, it might not, and time will tell.

I'm pretty excited. Uh, I'm going to try a lot of different things first and then we'll see what sticks. We'll see what you guys like.

We'll see what I like and then hopefully, you know, I could make something more uh frequent and that way I can also, you know, be in touch with my viewers, right? Cuz like making one video every every year, you know, like I don't know what's going on. Like from the time I made uh the last video before my comeback video to here, I think people like graduated college, people got new jobs, people got promoted.

Like my audience is so old now. Like if you think about when they started, they were watching me in college and stuff. And then now in 2026, some of them might be my managers.

But yeah, that's pretty much it. Thanks for listening to me ramble. And uh yeah, I hope to see you very very soon on this channel.

Oh, and PS, uh this channel used to be the Joan NYC channel. I kind of just want to recycle channels. I I don't want to like make a new one so that it's already monetized.

But all right, cool. Uh yeah, I think that's pretty much it. I hope you guys have a great weekend, great day, and um see you in the next one.
